Arts, Briefly - 10 Billionth Download for iTunes - NYTimes.com

And we have a winner! Apple announced on Thursday that Louie Sulcer of Woodstock, Ga., clicked the “Buy Song” button at an opportune time, downloading the 10 billionth song from the company’s iTunes Store since the site went active in April 2003. Mr. Sulcer will receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card for his fortuitous purchase of Johnny Cash’s “Guess Things Happen That Way.” Mr. Sulcer, a 71-year-old retired real estate broker, said in an interview that he learned about his achievement when Steve Jobs, the chief executive of Apple, called on Wednesday night. On Thursday he heard from Rosanne Cash, Johnny Cash’s daughter, who thanked him for buying one of her father’s tunes. She then put her husband, the musician John Leventhal, on the phone to play the winning song. Mr. Sulcer said he hadn’t had much time to think about how he would spend the winnings. “That’s the $10,000 question,” he said, though he said he expects that his three children and nine grandchildren would most likely benefit. “I don’t think I’ll have to worry about buying birthday and Christmas presents anytime soon.”

Dang that's an awful-lot of songs. I love music and I wish I could have done that. What a way to go Louie Sulcer! To bad iTunes didn't give you like a thousand in cash though right? You should get some cash to spend elsewhere! It sure would pay to discover how to continue to fund our communities hurt by this economic hardship.
